I just learned about JSON.parse, I was wondering..

I was wondering if XML.parse or HTML.parse are the two ways of parsing XML and HTML files into Javascript objects?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you please clarify? JSON.parse turns a JSON string into an object. Essentially is removes the single quotemarks (') from an expression like '{"somekey":"somevalue"}' to give {"somekey":"somevalue"}. But to do something like that to HTML or XML would not make sense.

I was wondering if there was a way to convert XML, html now that I think about it, but XML into a Javascript object so you may inject that data into your html.
